Burbank, Cailf. - - July 11, 2006 - - NBC's hit game show "Deal or No Deal," hosted by Howie Mandel, is getting some local help from its affiliate stations for a nationwide search for America's next hopeful millionaire.

"Deal or No Deal" is looking for energetic, charismatic and outgoing individuals who can think quickly on their feet. Candidates should be at least 18 years of age, and a legal resident of the 50 United States and/or Washington, D.C. Although they don't need any special skills, they should be prepared to be engaging and show their excitement for the show.

Casting calls will be held in the following locations, for more information, please contact the local NBC affiliate:

Hosted by Howie Mandel, "Deal or No Deal" is an international hit game show from Endemol USA, the producers of NBC's "Fear Factor" and "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." Contestants play for a large cash prize in a high-energy match of nerves, instincts and raw intuition. Each night, the game of odds and chance unfolds when a contestant faces 26 sealed briefcases containing anything from a measly penny to one million dollars. Without knowing the amount in each briefcase, the contestant picks one -- his to keep, if he chooses, until its unsealing at game's end.

Based on the successful format from Endemol that has aired in over 35 countries, "Deal or No Deal" is produced by Endemol USA, a division of Endemol Holding. David Goldberg is the president of Endemol USA. The series is executive-produced by Scott St. John.
